Tuvalu Introduction Tuvalu was once a british colony called "Ellice and Gilbert islands" and some polynesians from the Ellice islands voted for separation. In 1978 they gained ther independence forming the independent british colony of Tulavu. It is a archipielago of islands or a cluster of islands together in the pacific ocean near to samoa and in the middle of Hawaii and Australia. It belongs to Oceania and has a total area of 26km2, that is almost nothing it is equal to 0.1 the size of washington DC. Tulavu Map Tulavu Statistics Population: 10,619 Population in Talavu is very small, there are only 10,619 people. San Pedro Sula has about 800,00 people that is about 80,000 times more population in a Honduran city than in the whole nation. Birth Rate: 23.35 births/1,000 population Birth rates in here could be small but it is acceptable or deducable that it will be a low birth rate because there are only 10000 people in the whole country. So 23.35 births can really be alot of people dying in the country. Death Rate: 9.13 deaths/1,000 population Death rates are small if you see it from one perspective comparing to other big countries just like the birth rate. But we can see that death rates are much more minor than the birth rates. Net Migration Rate: -6.97 migrant(s)/1,000 population The net migration net in Tulavu is negative, this means it revieves 0 turists and some people are starting to live because of water level increasing. Population Growth Rate: 0.725 The population growth rate is a combination of emmigrants, immigrants and people living and entering the country. Surprisenly the Population Growth rate is still positive after having the net migration in negative. Infant Mortality Rate: 33.55 deaths/1,000 live births For having a small population having 33.55 deaths of inflants is a very large amount of children dying. This might be caused by poverty, lack of health care, and some other factors that do not contribute to children development. Life Expectancy: 65.11 years As we have learned Tulavu is a low developed country and has high infant mortality rates and a negative net migration rate. The lack of resources plus other important things equal a low life expectancy. People aren't living as much lomg and are dying a an early age. Doubling Time: 96.6 years So Tulavu is small, slow developing, high death, infant mortality rates, and a negative net migration so thsi factors tells us that it will take aproximatly 96 and a half years to double its population to 20000.

Tulavu General Information and Life Tulavu are a cluster of islands in the pacific ocean and they are independent, but is still considered a britich colony. The country is really poor in a way, it has almost none natural resources at disposition and 90% of fuels and food are imported this makes also to lack health care and other things. They have four coral reefs and if they 1000 torists annually, that is alot. Life in Tulavu could be very diffcult because it has to many limitants, most men are seamen or merchants. Also some people realy relie on subsistence farms wich basically means that people grow crops to eat by themselves and they don;t sell it. Tulavu is only 5 meters above sea level so it is very easy to get flooded and water levels are constantly rising. So they started considering they'l have to evacuate the island just in case sea levels rise to much and what is left of Tulavu will be destroyed.

Tulavu belongs to the LEDC( Less Economically Developed Country) and has a large population or concentration of medium poeple, not to old or to young. Tulavu more than any other counrty is the most affetced by natural disasters, it is onlt 5 meters above sea level so people can suffer of floods, tsunami alerts and many other factors.
